ASHLAND, o.. Nov. 23.-At 10 O'Clock
Tuesday morning Justice AShabel G
Beer rendered his decision in the case
of Mason brothegs as follows: He said
that he found TINT the charge against
Calvin ID. Mason had not been sustained
by the evidence sand that he did not
think there was any cause to hold him
as accessory to the murder of William
IL, Reynolds, and he therefore dis
charged him. He further said that
from the evidence he thought j. r.
Mason did the shooting without pre-
meditation, and would therefore hold
him under charge of manslaughter, and
placed his bail at $4,000. c. d. Mason
was released at once, but as yet j. r.
Mason has not furnished bail. The JUS
tees decision was soon known on the
street, and created much comment.
it was surprise to nearly everyone, as
hardly anyone thought for q moment
that J. r. Mason would be released on
bail. The intimate friends of the Ma
sons are seen pn the street corners
laughing and rejoicing over the de-
cision But themaiority of the citizens
express Indignation, and above all the
most excited and indignant are the
farmers, who say that justice has been
outraged. But The loudest and bitter
est i'll these denunciations are the Or
ange township Farmers and residents
OF the little village Of Nankin. How
ever, here there is division of opinion
i'll the village. People have taken
sides and the talk is bitter from both
sides. This is the case to such an ex-
tent that part of the members of the
Presbyterian Church will not attend
church any more, for the reason that,
as they claim, the minister breaches Oh
the case for the prisoners, and has made
very conspicuous by sitting by
them in court and working and talking
for them.

An epidemic of diptheria and mala-

citizens are becoming seriously alarm
ed. Many people think it is low calcu-

500. Fortunately few fatal cases have
developed. The local doctors are al
most run off their feet, so great is the
demand for their services. One doctor
has seventy cases on his hands. The
epidemic is attributed to various
sources, impure water, drainage, etc.

p PARIS, Nov. 25.-[Special EPresiden
Grevy willresign. The opposition has
been too strong for him and it is his
only course left, The growth of rad
icalism in the country has been steady,
until now it virtually controls the poll
cy of the Government. Grevy had
long consultation with NJ. Marat, a
leader of the Left, and begged for time.
Marat was obdurate and said too much
time had been lost already and it was
the duty of the President to resign i'm
mediately. In vain efforts to heal the
breach, Grevy has asked NJ.
Ribot to form a Cabinet.
Ribot said Grevy should consult
the, retiring Cabinet about resigning
consequently NJ. Rouvier and his col.
leages were summoned by the President.
1t is given out that the resignation will
be presented to the Chamber of Depu-
ties next Monday. The Radicals have
decided to oppose any military success
sor and this is considered a blow at
General Saussier, who is prominent for
the presidential chair There are many
Frenchmen who would be most happy
to draw the lucky card and occupy the
Elysees at 1926, 600 a year.
Immediately on the announcement of
Grevy's resignation the members of the
Left will meet and decide on a
